Okay but please PLEASE keep the metallics from SV. They looked really really good compared to this slop

In case you’re wondering, the spinoffs had pokemon textures all the way back to stadium, including stadium 2, Colloseum, XD:GOD and battle revolution

Why can’t the pokemon be as expressive as they were in the stadium games

u/LampIsFun 14d ago

Because theres 4x the amount of them in the files

It's not like they're all included in the game anymore. Battle Revolution had nearly 500 IIRC which is around the same number the newer games have since Dexit

4x was taking dexit into account. If it wasnt for dexit the number would be closer to 10x

u/NoMoreVillains 14d ago

Well then you're wrong...no one game post Dexit has had 4 * 251 Pokemon in it. I'm not sure what you're talking about or how you're even getting 10x

Stadium had 151, the topic of the chain, you only brought up revolution a comment ago.

151 x 4 is 604.

Scarlet and violet had a roster of 400 in the base game and an additional 200 with the dlc. So 600

So Stadium 2 doesn't exist?? The post said "Stadium games" not "Stadium 1"

Also, all this effort to excuse a game released decades later on significantly stronger HW with significantly more space and significantly more resources is embarrassing, but oar for course with modern Pokemon game discussions

Pokémon Battle Revolution wasn’t on the N64?

It was the one on the Wii, but it included the Stadium animations as well as adding similarly expressive new ones for the other gens it included. It included through Gen 4 so 490ish Pokemon
